Re: New House Alarm - Am I locked out?

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

End Of Line Resistor. Which theoretically should be...well...at the END of
the line.

Different alarm panels use different value resistors, so if they were
installed where they theoretically belong (at the end of the line) then
you'd maybe hafta dig them out of the wall(s) to change them...theoretically
speaking of course.

Some panels use different values on the same board...like one for burg zone,
an different one for fire zone...and sheesshhhhh another for zone-doubling
(yikes on that one)
